Used Honda car buying guide
Honda has a lot to offer. From small hatches, SUVs, to people movers, many see Honda as a symbol of dependability and practicality. The Japanese manufacturer delivers technology not just cars, but motorcycles, ATVs, and power equipment too.
With such a prolific manufacturing history, the Honda VTEC engine has become something of a legend. Over two decades, Honda has been consistently upping their game in producing highly effective and powerful engines that promise great fuel economy and cleaner emissions, landing on the i-VTEC engine that’s standard on their cars today. Like most Japanese automakers, Honda’s innovations, safety technologies, and sporty performance offer great value for all their drivers.
What are the most popular Honda models?
Car enthusiast or not, you’re likely to have already heard of some of these Honda models. Let’s take a quick look.
One of the many small cars you’ll see zipping around the city, the Jazz offers a responsive drive and great fuel economy. Most models also have Magic seats that can either fold up or down to better fit something tall (like a houseplant or lamp) while still freeing up space in the boot, all packing a practical punch.
Arguably Honda’s most iconic car, the Civic is not only highly dependable, but also distinctly stylish too. As a compact car that comes with a choice of sedan or hatch and diesel or petrol i-VTEC engines, it includes extensive safety features, competitive storage space, and boasts a sporty drive.
Honda’s first and most popular SUV, the CR-V ticks all the boxes as a family car or a rugged adventurer. With plenty of space, intelligent safety features, and a 140kW VTEC turbo engine, this mid-size SUV is your companion on an enjoyable ride with you and your family.
Another family-favourite, the Odyssey was made with families in mind. This people-mover includes features like surround-view cameras, tri-zone automatic climate control, a conversation mirror to check on the kids in the back, and of course, a 5-star ANCAP rating. All this and more ensures the comfort and safety for the entire family.
Are used Honda cars safe to buy?
Both new and used Honda cars are among the safest cars in the market. That’s because Honda prioritises the safety of all road users, developing safety technologies that consider not just the driver, but all road users. Their suite of intelligent driver assist technologies — Honda Sensing, include systems and designs like multi-angle reversing camera, vehicle stability assist, electronic brake-force distribution. The result? 5-star ANCAP ratings across their range in the last decade.
